Most needed are peanut butter and macaroni and cheese. Also, you can place a check made out to St. Luke's and indicate on the check that it is to go to the Food Pantry, and Doris will see that it gets there. Our town needs our assistance!
In another cooperative venture with First Christian, their Youth and Family Minister, Colin McRaney, has invited our youth to attend the youth function each Sunday afternoon at 5:30 pm. Melanie Cowan's granddaughter Marlee attended last Sunday night and really enjoyed it. This is for youth from 4th grade through high school. Also beginning August 26th their program will extend to Wednesday nights when the 7th - High School will meet. Contact Colin,colinmcraney@gmail.com, for more information.

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." C.S. Lewis

St. Luke's has committed itself to the proclamation and practice of a traditional, biblically-centered faith.
We are part of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth in the Western Deanery. We are part of the Province of the Southern Cone and are not a part of The Episcopal Church in America.

The mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth is "To Equip the Saints for the Work of Ministry."
We are a traditional, orthodox diocese of the Anglican Communion, committed to the mission of Jesus Christ, here and abroad. Both anglo-catholic and evangelical expressions of the faith are celebrated in the 55 congregations of the diocese. Upholding the authority of the Holy Scriptures, maintaining theological orthodoxy, and practicing evangelism are important priorities in our common life and ministry.

St. Luke's is a Proud Sponsor of a Northern Malawi Centurion

The Northern Malawi Centurion Program of the Wold Mission Committee is participated in by the Diocese of Fort Worth. According to Bishop Christopher Boyle, "what we have together is so much more than the fellowship of everyday life. We have Christian fellowship, by which we share, support, and pray for one another in Christ. We are together in Christian solidarity and service. This greater fellowship is such that in Malawi my brothers, sisters, and I truly know that we are not alone in our service of the Lord, by sharing in Christian fellowship with you who also share in the service of the Lord here." If you would like more information you can contact the diocese through email at angdeoofnmw@sdnp.org., or by writing P O Box 120, Mzuzu, Malawi, South Central Africa or by contacting Peggy Bruce, 1121 Gabriel Lane, Fort Worth TX 76116; 817-738-2528; walterpeg@aol.com. You, too, can make a difference.

ACNA Bishops Attend Lecture at Orthodox Seminary

"Alone of all creeds, Christianity has added courage to the virtues of the Creator. For the only courage worth calling courage must necessarily mean that the soul passes a breaking point and does not break." (Orthodoxy. G. K. Chesterton)
